David Brooks brings the unmistakable banjo spark that helps define Bourbon Legend’s sound. From a soundtrack obsession to a bucket-list birthday show, to woodworking, teaching, and cross-country travels, David’s creativity shines through everything he does — onstage and off.

Meet guitarist Jim Lipnos, the steady heartbeat of Bourbon Legend. Growing up in Cleveland, he swapped drums for guitar after discovering Aerosmith and folk-rock classics. Today, his rhythm playing provides the foundation for the band’s sound, driving every song with passion and precision—even if it means breaking a string or two along the way.

Megan Rae brings passion, personality, and purpose to Bourbon Legend as the band’s violinist. A Pittsburgh native with a love for Broadway, classical, and post-hardcore music, she’s been playing since third grade and never looked back. From quirky sock choices to her named instruments, Megan’s style is all her own — and her dedication to music education runs just as deep as her love for the stage.
